It is Trait #15 on the EQ side of the Winning Kite, and it turns a manager who merely gets work done into a leader who builds people who get work done."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the Pygmalion Effect in leadership?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Pygmalion Effect says that when a leader holds genuinely high expectations of a person, that person is more likely to perform at a higher level. Belief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders like Anil Kumble with R. Ashwin, and Ravi Shastri with Jasprit Bumrah, used positive expectation plus support to lift struggling players into match-winners."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How should a manager give feedback so it develops the person?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Start with genuine praise and strengths, then move to the area of improvement in non-judgemental, trust-building language, and close with encouragement. Give feedback daily as a norm, never when you are furious or emotionally unaware, and be as mindful of your tone and body language as of the words themselves."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why does the leader-team relationship matter for developing others?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Every feedback technique fails without a strong relationship built on empathy and self-awareness.
